Abstract

The thawing oven passes a cold air stream over the pastry. The cold air is cooled in a conventional manner. The microwave radiation enters the oven via two opposing windows, and has the same phase and amplitude at both windows. The max. of the two radiation sources can be displaced by controlling phase and amplitude externally. The radiation sources are positioned such that a relatively uniform temp. increase occurs in the entire pastry except at its surface which is held at a relatively low temp. Part of the cold air is used to cool the microwave oscillator. Any absorbant parts likely to interfere with thawing are removed.

Description

Betr.: Anmeldung zum Patent hilfsweise Gebrauchsmuster schutzRe: Application for a patent, alternatively utility model protection

Auf taugerät II Zusatz zu P29olo50 Im Hauptpatent wurde ein Mikrowellenauftraugerät beschrieben, das für Objekte mit sehr empfindlicher Oberfläche gegenüber erhöhten Temperaturen geeignet ist. Solche Objekte fallen in der Industrie an, in der Lebensmitteltechnik vor allem in Form von tiefgekühlten Torten bei Konditoreien.Auf dewerät II Addition to P29olo50 In the main patent was a microwave applicator described that increased for objects with a very sensitive surface Temperatures is suitable. Such objects occur in industry, in food technology especially in the form of frozen cakes in pastry shops.

Bekanntlich isteíbisher nicht möglich, solche worten forciert aufzutauen, man muß vielmehr diese Objekte ca. 2 Tage normaler Temperatur aussetzen, da die Wärmeleitfähigkeit sehr gering ist, andererseits die Temperaturempfindlichkeit der Oberfläche gegenüber dem Inneren ausßerordentlich viel größer ist.As is well known, it is not yet possible to forcefully thaw such words, one must rather expose these objects to normal temperature for about 2 days, since the Thermal conductivity is very low, on the other hand the temperature sensitivity of the Surface is much larger than the interior.

Diese Empfkindlichkeit wird zunächst herücksichtigt durch eine forcierte Kühlung der Oberfläche durch einen tiefgekühlten Luftstrom.This sensitivity is first taken into account by a forced Cooling of the surface by means of a deep-frozen air stream.

Aber auch rein hochfrequenzelektrisch sind besondere Vorkehrungen zu treffen, da diese Objekte eine sehr homogene ESstrahlung verlangen und dadurch von den Sttoßstellen am Objekt ausgehende Sekundärstrahlung zu Interferenzeffekten führt, die ein Auftauen zunächst unmöglich machen.But also purely high-frequency electrical special precautions are required to hit, since these objects require a very homogeneous ES radiation and thus Secondary radiation emanating from the impact points on the object to interference effects which initially make defrosting impossible.

Von der zylindrischen Begrenzung ausgehend ergeben sich abwechselnd Maximal und Minima in Form von Ringen, konzentrisch zum Rand, von der Decken- und Bodenbegrenzung ausgehend ergibt sich bei der üblichen Dicke und der zugelassenen Wellenlänge zunächst ein Minimum genau in halber Höhe des Objektes.Starting from the cylindrical delimitation, the result is alternating Maximum and minimum in the form of rings, concentric to the edge, from the ceiling and Starting with the floor limitation, the standard thickness and the permitted one result Wavelength initially a minimum exactly half the height of the object.

Abb. 1 bis 3 zeigen die elektrischen Anordnungen, die notwendig sind, um diese Interferenzeffekte auszuschalten. Als Beispiel ist ein genau zylindrischer Objektkörper gewählt, weil bei einem solchen Körper diese störenden Interferenzeffekte am stärksten auftreten. In Abb. 1 sei eins das Objekt auf einem Drehteller, der nicht metallisch, sondern über reibungsarme Plastik gelagert ist und mittels einer Platikachse gedreht wird. Die Einstrahlung der Hochfrequenz geschieht nicht frei in den Raum, sondern direkt im Primärstrahl auf das Objekt. Dadurch ist im Raum außerhalb des Objektes keine nennenswerte MW-Leistung vorhanden und die Dimensionen des Raumes sind freibleibend, ebenso wie die fähigkeit der Tür sehr vereinfacht wird. Die Strahlungsquellen zwei sind Fenster, beispielsweise als Enden je eines Hohlleiters, die von einer gemeinsamen Quelle drei gespeist werden. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, daß die Phase an zwei genau gleich sind, dadurch bildet sich bekanntlich ein flaches Maximum symmetrisch zwischen den beiden Enden 2. Auf diese Weise kann man das normalerweise im Objekt entstehende Minimum sogar geringfügig überkompensieren. Des weiteresn wird nach Abb. 2 die geometrische Lage dieser Fenster relativ zum Drehpunkt 4 und dem Rand 5 des Objektes sehr genau so gewählt, daß die Umgebung des Mittelpunktes nahezu die selbe Bestrahlung in Zeitmittel enthälft, wie die übrgien Teile des Objektes mit Außnahme des äußeren zylindrischen Randes, dessen Temperatur mit Hilfe der Fensterlokalisierung und der bei 4 zugeführten Kaltluft genau auf einen Sollwert gehalten wird.Fig. 1 to 3 show the electrical arrangements that are necessary to eliminate these interference effects. An exactly cylindrical object body is chosen as an example, because these disruptive interference effects occur most strongly in such a body. In Fig. 1, one is the object on a turntable that is not metallic, but mounted on low-friction plastic and is rotated by means of a plastic axis. The radiation of the high frequency does not happen freely in the room, but directly in the primary beam on the object. As a result, there is no noteworthy MW output in the room outside the property and the dimensions of the room are subject to change, as are the ability of the door is very simplified. The radiation sources two are windows, for example as the ends of each waveguide, which are fed by a common source three. This ensures that the phase at two are exactly the same, as a result, as is known, a flat maximum is formed symmetrically between the two ends 2. In this way, the minimum normally occurring in the object can even be overcompensated slightly. Furthermore, according to Fig. 2, the geometric position of this window relative to the pivot point 4 and the edge 5 of the object is chosen very precisely so that the area around the center contains almost the same irradiation in time averages as the other parts of the object with the exception of the outer one cylindrical edge, the temperature of which is kept exactly at a target value with the help of the window localization and the cold air supplied at 4.

6 ist der Verdampferkühler, durch den die Luft aus dem Kälteaggregat im Ringstromverfahren nach Abb. 3 durchströmt.6 is the evaporator cooler through which the air from the refrigeration unit flows through in the ring flow method according to Fig. 3.

Im Bedarfsfalle steht es frei, den Außenrand nach Auftauen des Inneren durch kurze Durchführung durch einen Infrarotstrahler weiter aufzuwäremen.If necessary, it is free to use the outer edge after thawing the inside further warming up by briefly carrying out an infrared heater.

Vorbedingung lit ist dabei immer, daß die Temperatur der Außenhaut so niedrig bleibt, daß diese keine mechanischen Änderungen erleidet.Precondition lit is always that the temperature of the outer skin remains so low that it does not suffer any mechanical changes.

Im Falle von Konditoreierzeugnissen kommt es oft vor, daß einzelne Obstteile z.B. Kirschen alsrapierung auf der Oberfläche auft werden. Diese Elemente absorbieren durch ihren Säuregehalt normlerweise die MW-Energie in erhöhtem Maße und stören den Vorgang, dürfen also erst nach dem Auftauvorgang aufgebracht werden. Ebenso dürfen lockere Bestandteile wie Schokoladesplitter und ähnliches nicht vorher aufgebracht werden, da diese den guten Kontakt der Kühlluft mit der Oberfläche beeinträchtigen.In the case of confectionery products, it often happens that individual pieces of fruit, such as cherries, appear as rapier on the surface will. Due to their acidity, these elements normally absorb the MW energy to a greater extent and interfere with the process, so they may only be applied after the thawing process. Likewise, loose components such as chocolate chips and the like must not be applied beforehand, as these impair good contact between the cooling air and the surface.
